This lesson explains how to use Notes to stay in contact with Buyers. Any ServiceLive user can enter notes about the Service Order. Use Service Order notes as the primary means of communication between Provider and Buyer to minimize confusion and document any decisions made about the Service Order for future reference. ServiceLive Administrative team can also View/Add Notes on Service Order.
Example of Notes you can view:
- View/Add a Note from three different locations.
Note: You will need to first locate (Active) Service Order, refer to steps in Today tab OR Search tab lesson in Service Order Monitor course. Provider typically would Add Note to Active Service Order because they need to communicate with Buyer while the Service Order is in progress.- Click on Title link to Open Service Order.
- Click on
